Description: | A late Medieval to early Post-Medieval copper alloy purse bar (late 15th-early 16th century). The purse bar has a circular loop (diameter 16.08mm) that is cast in one with the shank that passes through a spherical central block (diameter 11.17mm) and ends with a separate rove. At the junction between the loop and the shank there is a triangular-sectioned collar. This collar is repeated at the two junctions between the central block and the arms. The arms are shorter than other examples, measuring 12.16mm in length. The arms then have a separate rove at the end of each. One is the roves is corroded to the bar, the other is separate but still present, although this is possibly a mend. Attached to one of the arms is a piece of wire curled around the arm to form an incomplete loop, possibly this is a remaining fragment of the purse frame. Dark green patina.
